By JOSEPH MURAYA, NAIROBI, Kenya, May 6 – It has now emerged that one of the survivors rescued on Thursday from the collapsed building in Huruma died because of lack of life-saving equipment in an ambulance.

Designated Incident Commander Pius Masai says the ambulance used to ferry the survivor lacked an oxygen cylinder and masks.
